Over five years of research and field testing has gone into this collar with advice and input from the veterinary profession (Advisor Professor Ramsey Hovell) and close study of bone and muscle anatomy in the shoulder region. This washable breastplate is designed to work with the conformation of the horse or pony, not against it. Age-old harness styles from working horses across Europe have been developed and combined with Zilco’s modern technology. *In order to maintain the curved shape, it is sturdily made with a central core of ZILCO strapping for maximum strength under the toughest marathon conditions.

• Soft padded waffle lining on bearing surfaces of breastplate wither and martingale.
• Quick Release connection for traces
• All Stainless steel fittings

The shape follows the contours of your horse, lifting over the point of the shoulder, but below the soft underneath of the neck and windpipe. This frees up the bony part of the shoulder joint to maximize movement without pressure. Straps to wither have three positions that are moveable to suit narrow or wide necks. Padded martingale, which assists the desired position of the collar. Suitable for:

.. Facilitating best possible paces and freedom of movement in any horse or pony .. Advantageous to animals with low headsets .. Animals with shoulder lameness from strains or old injuries or stiffness to the shoulder .. Horses or ponies that tend to shorten their stride when in draft.

The “MK2” Empathy breastplate comes in four sizes: Horse, Cob, Large Pony and Shetland/Small pony sets.
